Malcolm fraser, R.C.A.F., arrived home from England. He will be an instructor in Canada. The Flight Sergeant is a son of Mr. and Mrs. R.D. Fraser.

For two years he was attached to the R.A.F. in England, and made 17 bombing flights over Berlin, Stettin and other enemy targets. A year ago, still attached to the R.A.F., he was transferred to Malta, most bombed spot in the world. He was there during the prolonged combined German-Italian blitz, when "Malta was bombed practically all the time". The anti-aircraft defences of the island, only sixty miles from the menacing bases at Sicily, are the best in the world, the flight sergeant said. During his service in Malta he engaged in 28 operational bombing flights over Italy, North Africa and Greece attacking land targets and enemy convoys over the Mediterranean. After a short time one of his crew mates was Sergeant Air Gunner Joseph Duprey, Westville. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carolyn Wallace

I am trying to connect Bridget E Timmons or Simmons to George Riley and also to George Brown. The 1881 census for Kings Co shows Bridget E Riley 29 b Ireland a widow with 3 children George C either 5 or 3 yrs ; Philip H 2 and Samuel W which I believe s/b Simon W 5/12 (Nov). I have found a marriage on 13 Apr 1875 for Bridget Simmons ( parents Phillip and Catherine ) to George Riley ( parents Simon & Sarah ) I have found in the 1900 US Census for Weymouth Mass: George Brown , Head b Feb 1853 Canada age 47 married 12 yrs immigrated 1889 laborer @ Chemical Works Bridget, Wife b Dec 1851 Ireland age 48 married 12 yrs immigrated 1889 Philip H Riley, stepson b Jan 1879 Canada age 21 immigrated 1889 laborer chemical works Simon W Riley, stepson b Dec 1880 Canada age 19 immigrated 1889 day laborer Number of years for all 4 in the US - 11 Bridget Brown was residing with her son Philip Riley in 1910 US Census for Weymouth and was shown as a widow. Bridget Brown's Death Certificate reads: Bridget Timmons Brown d 3 July 1921 b Ireland Widow of George Brown Father Philip Timmons Questions: Does anyone have a death date for George Riley husband of Bridget Timmons? (Would be prior to the 1881 census for Kings Co.) Where is he buried? Does anyone have a marriage date for George Brown and Bridget (Timmons) Riley? (Sometime between 1881 and 1888 probably in Kings Co.) Who is George Brown's parents or siblings? Was Bridget Timmons parents residing in KIngs Co ?? If anyone can add anything to any of these families it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The deceased who had been in poor health for several years, was born at Canard, 73 years ago.

He had a pleasing personality which endeared him to many, a warm heart and an indomitable will; of ceaseless energy, he battled for years against an insidious disease. He is survived by three sons, Charles, Assistant General Manager of the Royal Bank of Canada, Montreal; Hollis, of Spokane, Washington; and St. Clair at home. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon. Note: His death in the vitals is under George Richard Pines, and the informant is Richard St. Clair Pineo.

His wife, Ann, had predeceased him. Annie died 02-Feb-1912, showing residence as Harris St., showing DOB as Sep-1856, at Prospect. Guessing prob. just 10 years off! Parents listed as James and Rebecca Coolin of Upp. Prospect. She was buried at Mt Olivet Cemetery on 04-Feb-1921. About four months before her husband. Power, Coolen, White, Duggan, and even Purcell names in Upper Prospect go back a ways. 1846 and 1848 School returns show several families. Go to: http://www.prospectvillage.ca There are a few researching POWER, and a couple researching COOLEN and couple more researching WHITE lines in Prospect. The POWER name likely goes back to Peter, Maurice, and Roger POOR. COOLEN appears to have originated as COOLING, with James. (prob. also seen as "Cowling") COULD also be that the WHITE line goes back to Sam (Samuel?) http://www.prospectvillage.ca/historicalDocuments/birthRecords.html (some birth records) http://www.prospectvillage.ca/historicalDocuments/deathRecords.html (may find some here) In the school records for 1836, is listed as Rebeah Duggan, aged 12, d/o Pater (Peter?)

Since this is about receiving "Mass cards", could these initials simply reflect a location? If no location is listed for the others, perhaps it was because they were "local". If it IS a location, and within NS, then perhaps something like "New Tusket". Or, if from outside of NS, perhaps "Northwest Territories"??? It's less likely what I had thought before opening the e-mail.... "New Testament". :-) Enjoy solving this little mystery!

Many thanks to those who so quickly responded, and especially to Ginny and Deborah who I believe, have the correct answer. Both suggested "National Teacher", which is apparently in common use in Ireland. I do know one of the people listed was a teacher, so I believe this to be correct. Many thanks again!

Would "National Teacher", a teacher in a national school, make sense in your situation?

Has anyone encountered the abbreviations "N.T." as a title and/or have thoughts on its meaning? I have an obituary from 1937 printed in an Irish newspaper that mentions this title in the following context: "Mass cards were received from.....Miss Jane Doe, N.T.; Miss Mary Smith, N.T.; Mr. John Brown, N.T." None of the names preceeding these names have titles. I do not believe it is a reference to geographic origin. The title is used for 2 women and one male so is not gender specific. I have tried googling with no luck. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
